Expounding the Value of Grain Legumes in the Semi- and Arid Tropics
Approximately 70% of the population in the semiand arid tropics reside in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Crop production is primarily focused on a few starchy staple crops. While this can ensure adequate calories, it inadvertently neglects the need for dietary diversity. Consequently, food and nutritional insecurity remains prevalent in the semiand arid tropics. We ...

متن کاملEvaluation of Drought-Tolerance Strategies in Cotton
Research made possible through the use of the wealth of genomic information and genetic resources available for model plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana has led to a substantial increase in our knowledge about how plants respond to stressful environmental conditions. This leap in understanding provides the basis for many new strategies for optimization of stress tolerance in crop plants...
متن کاملImproved shoot regeneration protocol for canola explants and pre-assessment of salinity tolerance in canola transgenic plants
Regeneration of explants plays a significant role in plant transformation. Explant type, hormonal concentration, and pre-culturing period are important in transformation efficiency. To get an efficient transformation of canola and optimize regeneration conditions, different explants along with different culture media were studied. Four canola varieties were used to evaluate regeneration ability...
